What parents say
AlexAnn Westlake was my midwife during my daughter's birth. She was the most competent and caring provider I could have asked for. The thing that really stood out to me is that she met me where I was at, which allowed for a very empowering birthing experience.
We would like to show our appreciation for Alexanne, Melinda, and everybody else who works at OCBC. This is the only birthing center in Eugene and they do it right. They are very professional and provide excellent care.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Our Community Birth Center. The staff, from the midwives to the nurses, were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and supportive, making my entire experience feel safe, comfortable, and empowering. The facility itself is beautiful—peaceful and clean.
I have been a client of AlexAnn's for many years. She is a kind, compassionate, and no-nonsense caregiver. I am glad to receive my gynecological care at the birth center, where midwives provide empowering care that doesn't feel "medical." She really listens.
